Sometimes it is necessary to reach back for something old to come up with something new. Sometimes you must resurrect tools and know-how from the past, and combine that with modern day know-how to come up with a workable method hair design that is yours and yours alone, as a Black cosmetologist.

Using a combination of past and present knowledge to your best advantage is the key to prosperity that will put wasted and so-called downtime to work for you.

30 Business Tips

Flexing Your Leadership Courage

By Dr. Steve Yacovelli

Often when leaders ask, “How can I get more courageous in my leadership?” the answer is—like the Lion—you already got this; just tap into that which you already have. At its core, it’s easiest to think of courage as that adrenaline-filled action hero that you see in the movies. But if you’re not a Navy SEAL or a wand-wielding wizard or an immortal Amazonian princess, you’re in luck! Courageous leadership doesn’t require you to be any of those. But—by nature of being in that leadership role within your organization—there’s a strong argument that you already have some semblance of courage up your sleeve. The challenge is to build and harness that courage to be even more effective as a leader.

Make Kindness the Cornerstone of Your Business

By Dana Morgan-Barnes

Business is no longer a “dog eat dog” proposition. Instead we are seeing how being kind, even in our business dealings, can make you “Top Dog.” Why is being kind so good for business?

It’s a known fact that we like to do business with people we know, like and trust. Kindness is a huge piece of that puzzle.

Whether you manufacture widgets, sell a product or a service; are you brick and mortar or an online presence; employ 2 or 2,000…kindness is everyone’s job.

Editorial Letter

by Jessica De Vault Hale

New Year, New OTC It’s hard to believe that we have embarked upon a brand new decade, but 2020 has officially begun. With more and more shoppers turning their attention towards big-box retailers and other specialty beauty stores for their hair and beauty needs, it is important that OTCs continue to evolve with the times. Shopping habits are different. Nowadays, consumer behaviors are centered solely around digital accessibility and convenience.

How can the OTC compete with this ever-evolving digital climate and the shortening attention span of its shoppers? It’ll have to utilize social media to drive traffic to your store. Showcase your newest products or wig wares on Instagram.

Create a website with information about your location. And most importantly, consider what’s convenient for your shoppers.

The one thing that OTCs have over their big-box competitors is variety and complete collections. Most stores only have a small hair care aisle dedicated to the multicultural consumer. But your entire store targets this unique demographic.

So use that to your advantage. Keep your store well stocked with the most popular items, keep up with the trends and make sure your store stays a step ahead. By doing this, you’ll stay relevant to your customers, and they’ll keep coming back.

Even if you weren’t into digital before or preferred a traditional retail method to garner success, remember that your shoppers do not stay the same, and nor should you.

Use this edition of OTC Beauty Magazine as a guide and inspiration on how to stay on top of the trends and make sure your store adjusts accordingly. For ideas on what’s in for the New Year, check out our Feature story on page 44.

How should you sell it?

Scott Zangwill

This month’s selling focus is…

Barber Tools When it comes to clippers or trimmers, there is a lot for customers to choose from. The question is, which should they buy? With such a variety to sift through, it pays to know the basics of these barber tools.

How can you educate customers on electronic barber tools and effectively make a sale?

“In the OTC stores today, the Big Four in the trimming business are Andis, Wahl, Oster, and BaByliss. They are all different but yet do similar things, and today’s consumers are the benefactors with so many colors, blades and products to choose from.

The customers will find that the interchangeable blades with all the brands will determine, along with reviews and friends’ opinions, which they will decide to buy. There are T-outliners, blades that taper the hair, blades that pivot, blades for both wet and dry hair also.

Some of these brands offer corded trimmers you can plug in, and some are cordless that run on either disposable batteries or rechargeable batteries. The “T” trimmers provide a customer a more custom cut, where they can get a very close cut, style or shape and even put in a design of their choosing.

All of these trimmers are of very high quality, and the regular user should get at least two or more years out of them before needing to look for another trimmer. Both corded and cordless trimmers offer many blade options, and customers can buy different ones, depending on how often and when the customer would need to buy another blade.

Many stores put these together like the pictures you see. These make excellent gifts for birthdays and holidays for family, friends or loved ones.”

Chemical relaxers and permanent curling serve only about 40% of the total hair restructuring market. Approximately 30% of that market is still using the press and curl method. I do not intend to confuse you with conflicting statements, but in that last paragraph, I stated that $80 of all hair restructuring performed in Black beauty salons are relaxers and permanent curls.

That statement is true; however, all hair rearranging is not done in beauty salons.

The fact is, most people who prefer to have their own or their children’s hair pressed do not go to the salons for this service, because many salons no longer offer this service or they do not advertise it. Manufacturers of hair care products (both Black and white) are partly responsible for this trend. Because just about all major manufacturers and small localized manufacturing firms all over the country are producing chemical

This growth is especially important for the new Black stylists fresh out of beauty school. When a new Black cosmetologist graduates from beauty school and sets up shop looking for customers, they are at a great disadvantage if they do not know how to use the pressing comb and Marcel irons.

When a new Black stylist who does not know how to press and curl sets up shop in an area where most of his/her customers will be Black, they start out as a double minority. First, because they are Black and second because they can only perform services for 70% of the Black population who’s looking for professional beauty services. In other words, that cosmetologist will be a minority within a minority.

Approximately 1/3 of the students in cosmetology schools are Black in America, but many of their concerns are ignored.

About 30% of Afro females avail themselves to pressing and curling, but only 10% of that business is being performed in salons where it belongs. A large part of this lost clientele is, in part, the cosmetologist’s fault, because they do not indicate what services are offered. But there has not been a sign or poster printed in the last 25 or more years that show, “press and curl.” In order to reclaim this lost business, you must advertise this service by placing a large sign in the window of your salon proclaiming that you do press & curl.

You will be surprised by how many people pass by your salon every day who would like to have this service performed, but there is no indication in your window that you do. It has been proven that if you advertise and promote this service, your clientele will grow by

Hidden Profits in the Press & Curl Service Many cosmetologists claim they do not like to press and curl because of the small amount of profit involved.

You must be aware of this fact: the press and curl is one element of professional cosmetology that the Black cosmetologist owns and controls.

The Beard Care

What’s Driving the Beard Care Boom?

Take a walk down any men’s care aisle or click through an online men’s shop and you can’t miss that Beard Care is booming. It’s leaving many marketers stroking their beards, pondering whether this is a fleeting trend or is Beard Care business growth coming into its own as a core pillar of Men’s Grooming category. The hair and beard care experts at Just For Men share their perspective, insights and information about what’s driving the growth and what retailers and consumers should look for in beard care products.

facial hair. Incidence of facial hair has risen 15% over the past 8 years, since the company began tracking facial hair numbers quarterly. At its peak, incidence has gone as high as 65%, tending to be higher in the winter months. The beard boom is driven by the younger age group 18-44 and over-indexes with Hispanics and African Americans. As more American men decide not to shave regularly, and well-groomed beards have become more acceptable in the workplace, more and more guys are putting down their razors and picking up a beard care product instead. The global beard oil market size was valued at USD 926 million in 2018 and is projected to expand further at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2019 to 2025.

sleeve. The challenge is to build and harness that courage to be even more effective as a leader.

When you think about being courageous in the workplace, even if you’re being your bravest self, there’s still a lot of factors that can prevent you from being your most courageous (and effective) leadership self. Time and again, these are the top three “courage-inhibitors” that tend to come up for many leaders:

2. The Challenge of Assumptions (or “Filling in the Blanks”) As humans, it’s common to fill in the gaps when presented with a situation where all the data isn’t available. It’s easy to connect the dots between one problem and the next, even when the two aren’t related, without taking the time to examine your own approach. It’s how humans are wired. When you think of this in the context of courage, you’re either avoiding truly understanding the situation, or you’re scared (back to fear again!) to dive deeper into the truth of the situation. Having leadership courage means

1. The Challenge of Fear If you were to ask around, you’d likely find that a lack of courage and abundance of complacency in the workplace comes down to one simple thing: fear. When you think about this in the business context it can be broken down into two subtypes: (A) Fear of (Perceived or Actual) Failure, 30

lifting up those rocks and seeing what’s underneath. Lack of courage here is making assumptions about the situation without knowing all the information.

3. The Challenge of Being Locked into Current Behaviors Let’s talk about change for a minute. Here’s a little secret you probably already know: most people don’t like change. On a fundamental level, change is a really awesome idea: it’s fresh and new, it expands horizons, it allows for innovation and to have new experiences. In the workplace context, you initiate change so that the organization can grow and prosper.

But the hard truth? The vast majority of people hate change. Why? Well, on one hand (at the unconscious level) humans don’t like to change because it hits a part of our brain that likes safety and security. As our cave-ancestors survived and grew as a species, they (like us) were wired to be fearful of

situations and know how to act and adjust to them, even if the situation isn’t ideal. You might have heard the old adage: “The devil you know versus the devil you don’t,” meaning that we as humans tend to be OK with even bad situations/bosses/friends/ relationships/etc. because we know where we stand in this context. Some people don’t like change so much that they’d sooner stay in a bad situation because it’s familiar rather than make a move to newness. So, whether unconscious or conscious, for most people change is hard! It takes courage to try something new, something different, and individual resilience to keep at it when it doesn’t work perfectly the first time.

changes. Engaging in something new could lead to a dangerous situation.

As a leader, courage should be the bedrock that’s your foundation—the Now, flash forward to today: you’re still wired like this in changing situations. When most people engage in change, it leads to an unsettling feeling of vulnerability. On the other hand, your conscious self doesn’t like change because it’s difficult. There’s a tendency to simply get used to

courage to challenge the status quo, and to be your authentic and effective self in front of the world. It’s a super power that every leader has within them: it’s just a matter of avoiding the three “courage-inhibitors” and channeling that courage just like the not-so-Cowardly Lion did.

2020 TrendsForecast The New Year is ripe with new trends that include innovations, unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. OTC Beauty Magazine had a chance to speak with your favorite brands to find out what’s coming, and we were surprised to learn of all of the new innovations. From new uses for micellar water, unique food ingredients and a new interest in foams, there’s a lot to look forward to in 2020. Within the next few months, you’ll notice some of the biggest names releasing these brand new products. Here are some of the trends you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for.

Foaming Mousses So many brands we’ve chatted with are raving about their new foaming mousses. They boast moisturizing capabilities, firm but touchable hold and a variety of methods of use. Some can use mousse to accentuate their curls, while others will use foams to set their wet hair into a specific style or add volume to their blowouts. The options are absolutely endless. Foams like the Lottabody Wrap Me Foaming Mousse and the Smooth ‘n Shine Straight Hydrating Setting Mousse has been around for a while, but you’re going to see a lot more foams where those came from in 2020.

Micellar Water Hair Care When we think of micellar water, we often think of makeup remover and facial cleansers. But, we’ve noticed that several of our favorite brands like Mane ‘n Tail have incorporated this dirtfighting ingredient with shampoos and conditioners. It’s a clever idea, as micellar water is known for its gentle, yet effective cleansing capabilities. This could be a perfect choice for curly-haired shoppers who have long since rid themselves of sulfate-laden shampoos. Shampoos like this will leave your hair feeling clean, yet hydrated – the perfect outcome!

All About Avocado Food ingredients aren’t necessarily a new thing, but the resurgence of avocado-based products is a surefire trend. Avocado is known to be rich in fatty amino acids that help hair retain its moisture. This can lead to long-lasting hydration and tons of nourishment from vitamins A, D, E and B6. From avocado-based foams to entire collections of avocado products infused with other of-the-moment ingredients like hemp; avocado is sure to be all of the rage this year. Some brands are already ahead of the curve, like Curls’ Avocado Hair Mousse and Doo Gro’s Infusion Styling Oils.

You’ll be sure to see avocado-based products along with these other trends at Jinny Beauty Supply this year. Stock up on these must-haves for a promising start to your year.

THERAPY TRENDS The Decade of the Indie Retailer

By Elayne McClaine

In 2020, Indie brands will be on a Mission to get on retail shelves at the first sign of success on the Internet. Indies have short-circuited stages of development by Instagram and other internet feedback. The product becomes a trend and can then have a major launch in less than a year. Big Box Retailers will be challenged to respond. OTCs are ripe for the decade of high-speed Indie launches. As consumers move away from synthetic chemical-based products to natural, vegan and cruelty-free products, they will expect immediate brick and mortar access.

The products work—not by the standards of years of research and development. Savvy consumers will troll the Internet for brands that are new, now and their version of “nude.” The Year 2020 will herald in the next decade of product launch strategies and retailing trends. There is a need to be responsive and agile. Consumers are rejecting the traditional branding of major manufacturers. They require plant-based technology proven by their virtual community of peers. Once established, these products go straight to smaller retailers.

Digital marketing blogging and vlogging are making it easier to connect with and sell to prospective consumers. Big Box retailers will struggle to get new and urgent products on their shelves. OTCs can showcase these new products with greater immediacy. Indies will make every launch personal— handcrafted and designed for unique treatments or shades.

Major retailers will continue to promote major ethnic brands launched by major manufacturers. They may not be as competent as OTCs in getting new Indie products on shelf.

Consumers will demand unique products specific to their need for efficacy, innovation and community. The Year 2020 may kick off the opportunity for OTCs to become the preferred Indie Retailer.

HOOK UPS Henkel has signed an agreement to acquire Deva Parent Holdings, Inc., NYC/USA from a fund managed by private equity group Ares Management Corporation.

Deva Parent Holdings owns DevaCurl, a high growth professional hair-care business. Founded in 1994, the company offers highgrowth, premium and category-leading hair care and styling products for all types of curly and wavy hair with a comprehensive portfolio of vegan and “free-from” formulas. The product range includes cleansers, conditioners, styling products, styling accessories and treatments. The portfolio of DevaCurl is highly complementary to the existing portfolio of Henkel Beauty Care. DevaCurl’s premium professional products are distributed in the United States in leading salons. They are also available at retailers like Ulta and Sephora, as well as through direct-to consumer and eCommerce platforms. In 2019, the business is expected to generate sales of around $100 million U.S., mainly

in the U.S. market. The company employs around 200 people.

“This acquisition is part of our strategy to expand our position in attractive and fastgrowing markets and categories. It will complement and further strengthen our Hair Professional business,” says Henkel CEO Hans Van Bylen.
